A Quick Rant About Sites That Don't Allow Tracking Links or I-frames.

In this video I talk about a few things that cause me not to like an advertising site.

A Quick Rant About TE's While Looking For Luke.jpg


While looking for Luke today in the scavenger hunt I joined a traffic exchange that I did not belong to. The name of this site is not important but the fact that it limits what you can advertise is the main thing.

When I tried to enter my tracking link into the Sites section of the TE it said that "This Domain is Banned". How do you track your results if the tracking site is banned?

The fact that a tracking link is banned makes me think the quality of traffic is in question. If the owner doesn't want me tracking my results then why would I consider using this site?

After not allowing me not to use my tracking link I tried to use an affiliate link that has a video and capture form that builds my list. After telling me the site is waiting for approval from the owner/admin I go ahead and surf the sites to find Luke.

After I found Luke and completed the full scavenger hunt I go to look at my email and what do I find? The LFM exchange monitor doesn't like that my site has a I-frame and I can't use it either.

I'm not sure what LFM has against I-frames but I see this as a problem when there are many pages out there that use them for imbedding videos.

Not being able to use I-frames does bother me but it is not a deal breaker. Not allowing my tracking link really bothers me though, because I want to see what kind of results this site has to offer.

I will end my rant here and you can see below the sites I surfed for the scavenger hunt today to find Luke.

This is an image of the lead capture page I have been using, I really need to add a video to the page and to the Thank You Page.

Below are my tracking stats for the lead capture page I have been using. I have not tried to tweak this page for better conversions so I do not blame the TE's for any results I have been getting.

I don't surf TEs like I used to but I do remember some of the frustrations you talked about. I never understood why some sites were so strict with the links we could use while others were so open... I would only use certain sites because of it.

And to be honest, that is another reason why I don't advertise through many now, because either the owners don't pay enough attention to their businesses or they are too limiting. There are still a few I will use occasionally, which are great, but yeah I can feel your pain.

Hang in there. Hopefully, by some miracle, some owners will take notice & make the requirements a bit more reasonable lol. Btw, I like the beard!! :)

I don't surf them even close to what I used to but I do the Luke challenge sometimes. The owner of the site contacted me and made iframes to where you can use them but I use trck.me for my tracking because I have a lifetime upgrade. From past problems and no support they are blocked in some TE's.

I can't really argue about the tracking link but at least they made effort and allowed the iframes and gave me some credits for my troubles.

Sorry for the late response! I almost missed this comment - geez! LOL....

I am glad the owner at least TRIED to fix things a bit. That is what truly counts in the end. If they are at least communicative & receptive. that makes it more "forgivable". Hopefully some of these ongoing issues will work out in themselves esp. for your LIA journey!

Have an awesome week, my friend! 💚

I suppose that they do that because of the "safety" issues, but still... That can be solved in a different way...

I talked to the owner and he fixed the iframes thing because it isn't much of a threat, but the tracker I use is trck.me and there have been problems in the past so the site has been blocked do to no customer support. I don't know why LFM has such a problem with iframes but their is an option to have their site monitor block iframes.

Great rant I find it frustrating not being able to put tracking link on some Traffic Exchanges also or not able to use Iframes

Yes it is a problem that I find on several sites and it seems the owners of LFM don't like them either.
